Cherie writes: It's time to put your hat on and take your shoes off! Last week we ate, drank and acted silly in honor of Cherie's 35th Birthday (and all June birthdays--Lauri, Scott, Joe!)

Most people can't resist the temptation to try on a hat and discover in the mirror a person they never suspected was there. A hat alters the image we have of ourselves, and the image others see as well. For the hours we wear it, a hat brings out different dimension in our personality. Saying you don't look good in a hat is like saying you don't look good in shoes!

The hat wearers were out in force: those who were comfortable in hats, and those who would not feel more conspicuous if two wombats were mating on their head.

It's a beautiful country...why not wear a funky hat! Special thanks to the hosts (Beth and Richard) everyone who left their hat on!
